Earth Mastery (Ex): An earth drake gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls if both it and its foe are touching the ground. If an opponent is airborne or waterborne, the drake takes a -4 penalty on attack and damage rolls. (These modifiers are not included in the statistics block.)

Tremor (Su): Once per day, an earth drake can cause a tremor at a point where it touches the ground. All creatures standing on the ground within 60 feet of the drake must make a DC 20 Reflex save or fall down. Airborne or waterborne creatures don't suffer any ill effects, and the tremor doesn't deal any structural damage.

Skills: Earth drakes have a +4 racial bonus on Hide checks. *They have an additional +4 racial bonus on Hide checks when in rocky environments (such as mountain terrain or underground).

Earth Subtype

This subtype usually is used for elementals and outsiders with a connection to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Earth creatures usually have burrow speeds, and most earth creatures can burrow through solid rock.
